Who is the expert? God alone knows. Cannot trust any one here. Some work for MFs, some for FIIs and some others for operators and brokers. So only follow the advices of people whom you know very well. If it is investor, broker or analyst no problem, but you should know them personally. Self assessment is not a mistake, but it may take some time to develop skills in analysing. I have seen many stocks being recommneded by the so called experts only after giving the first oppotunity to their interested parties. After a week or two you may see some recos on Petronet LNG and MRPL. As per me this is the right time to buy these stocks. Petronet LNG was avaliable below 60 which was the best time to enter. Still it is not too late. Apollo tyres was below 30 for a two three weeks and no one recommended at that time. Now its above 35 and recos started coming now after smart people accumulated below 30 levels. Genesys was availbe at 90 levels for more than one month. Now after it crossed Rs. 130, I have seen a reco from an expert saying that it will touch 200. Now you decide what to do and what not to do. It is best to go based on you own judgements and work hard for one or two years and learn as much as possible about the trend of the market and various stocks. You can do it yourselves, I am sure....

Dear teamsr, Thanks for your views. I have not yet taken position in Landmark. Hope you have noticed the upsurge in OCL Iron & Steel on 18/08/08 which is also their Group Company. It performed much better than Land mark. I was watching it going down to Rs. 11 (by 7%)or so and then moved up steadily to cross Rs. 16. I was expecting a big fall next day, but it did not happen. Stock is today trading at Rs. 16. OCL India at current levels looks like a good buy. I am watching all three. Regds........KJP...

Probably they may be waiting for final confirmation of the news. Not sure. Even otherwise MRPL is a good buy at current levels in view of their outstanding performance during last year and Q1 as well. I feel it is high time this stock should be traded above Rs. 100. ...

The new trend in the market is instant profit booking after a rise of 15-20%. This was not the case last year and thats why stocks were reaching new highs all the time. Long term investors also now changed their approach due to the market inconsistency. As you will find most of the front line stocks are still 50% down from their all time highs, which is very disappointing in the long term investment view. Amara Raja should be trading above 150, but only when market stabilize we could see good upsurge in this stock. ...

As per news appearing in a leading Gulf daily, MRPL secured huge orders from Iran for supply of diesel. Production facilities in Iran is suffering due to obsolte plant and machinery and cannot meet the demand through local production. MRPL already has splendid results in Q1, and dont get surprised if this stock cross Rs. 100 within the next six months. Good buy at current level....

The resson for the outburst was not because I am holding SEL.I hold only a negligible qty, bought after the start of the LC, in order to get a feel of the stocks performance. This is very helpful to know more about not so familiar stocks and my such trial purchases will be always for less than Rs. 5000=00. Only if I get confidence, I invest big amounts....

This stock behaves in a very different way and it keeps people guessing through out the day. The volumes are always very very high and as per todays trend, if someone say it is circular trading, then we cant dispute. But what about y/day and the second day when on LC. The delivery position remains to be too low, today also. Anyways I am not buying now. Holding a negligible qty, which I bought to get a real feel of this stocks movement and even if it goes down, it will not have any impact in my portfolio....

Well said KJP. Many stocks were being accumulated even while bearish messages were being circulated. It is a sad fact that the retailers buy only after the biggies did all their buying. I have a stock which is almost at the same level for 2 months but the MF and DII were buying it all along. Unless one knows the real value of a stock they hold, these things will continue to happen. One more stock had come down by 5% even while the corporates bought 2% stake in the past 3 months from retailers. That is why I used to say that unless one knows why they bought a stock they wont know when to sell. regards nadhi ...

Landmark property is a typical stock we shldnt expect much from it from results point of view. At the same time i am holding this stock with Long term view.Prima facie reason being that promoters hold a number of real estate companies and any merger among the same can lead to huge value unlocking in the same do remember dalmias had given sleepless nights to mahindra gesco erstwhile owners sheths so one can expect good returns in Long term from the stock niftyviews blogspot...

sorry boss, i dont have any shares.....only equity of rs 1.33 cr & a promotor & family has most of the shares so rates even come 1000 , we doest have any profit...

Why it goes down now 5% every day from 142...

I had read the article,but both NDTV or the CNBC had not taken this up for their review in their visual media for some reason not known, they could have lined up MRPL officials to comment on this for the benifit of the investors and the Govt of india which is major stake holder through ONGC. Media is always interested in Pvt playes like Reliance etc with their stories ,rather than supporting events and business of public sector companies like MRPL,NEYVELI etc...

I think the bulls made a strong comeback for this stock today. This may be temporary. But the volumes are huge the highest ever, more than 5m. It behaved exactly the opposite way after touching the day's low that it behaved on other days. I had saved the intraday chart for future research purposes. Intraday chart looks promising. Bulls made a strong dominance over bears. It could be mainly because of the cheaper price. That is the only concern for me now. I do not worry not having bought because the stock made a low of 265 whereas my intended buy order was to put at 260. I would have felt worse if I had put orders. Now we need to see how it behaves and act quickly upon right signal. ...

OK. Such a drag indicates distressed selling which I used in the beginning in this thread. If that is true, then it can become like another case of orchid chemicals. Orchid chemicals fell 47% in a single day mainly because it didn\\`t have a circuit limit and being a FNO stock the seller would get as many volumes as he desires by going for prices. There after it consolidated. Actually well before the war started on August 7, I mean even before this thread started, the stock made a breakout on July 30. In two days the stock went up by more than 40%. After that as it started falling I wanted to check the corporate news. When I checked NSE, there they told that one operator sold huge amount in the open market (4% stake I think) and the investment firm\\`s name was also given. But I thought it was the end and the stock started consolidating. Later it starts falling again indicated a distressed seller. I think some investors who are based in certain countries must be afraid to hold stake in Russian or Russian related companies because in the future the country may be isolated for any business transactions with the rest of the world. Or may be the seller could have realized his country will no longer maintain good ties with Russia after this was. Moreover it is natural to expect US investment banks/firms to do this as they are deep down in credit derivative crisis. In that case history repeats but this time harshly till the end of this quarter mainly to book profits here, to clean their balance sheet by offsetting credit derivative losses. As september ends new quarter starts as did April after end of March and July after end of June. Every time new quarter started market slowly moved from panic selling to consolidation and recovery or rally. This time can it be different? ...
